None in Hoi An, haven’t seen a bug here yet?
I just let mosquitoes bite me til I have no more blood for them to bite lol. Actually I bought stuff to prevent mosquitoes, but I rarely use it when I’m in Vietnam, I just have to be careful and deal with it.
A short answer from myself, who has been seven times. Good hotels (mid tier and above) don’t seem to have a problem I’ve also noticed that some taxi drivers have a diffuser of lemongrass oil as a deterrent and/or deodoriser.
Here in Hanoi now. Very, very few Mosquitoes.
None in Sapa and most upland areas over 1000 metres.
I’ve been bitten by more mosquitoes in Texas than in Vietnam. I don’t remember getting bitten once in Vietnam and we stayed for two weeks.
